It was a tough offensive day. I'm tickled to death with 11 runs. I'm not happy with some of our approaches at the plate just yet, but it's still early.
Spence Chitwood
I feel real relaxed at the plate. I changed my swing a little bit from last year and it has really paid off.
Brian Toner
I was just looking for a ball over the plate and get it into the air (for a sacrifice fly), ... The worst thing you can do is hit a ground ball.
John Olerud
We just started to freeze up at home plate. We started to lay back, and we weren't as aggressive. They know what they're supposed to be doing. They just have to rely on their instincts.
Theresa Carroll
I have some doubts whether he can handle Moonee Valley but then again I'm looking at running him in the AAMI Vase or even the Cox Plate, so I've got to find out.
John Mcardle
They're not making mistakes, and they're living on the corners. You don't make a living hitting borderline pitches that are off the plate.
Garret Anderson
It was a good call and they executed it. It was a ball up out over the plate and he was able to get the bat on it.
Butch Hobson
He almost never throws a ball over the middle of the plate and still doesn't walk anyone.
Larry Dierker
Ag stepped up to the plate. Now the building industries have to do their part for local communities.
Manuel Cunha
The winning run was thrown out at the plate, but our catcher was called for obstruction.
Brad Schmitt
I feel good about our team going into area play. We've lost a few games to some very good teams, but we're getting better at the plate and in the field.
Pam Robinson
When our plates were issued last July, I had no idea how big the license plate collector market was.
Jane Heath
There's not enough of the pie to give out. Someone will have to come up with an empty plate and it'll most likely be us again.
Fran Capello
Andy has as much discipline at the plate as any young player I've ever seen. I think he can improve even more.
John Massarelli
We really didn't think this was too big of a deal. But, now that we understand what they can use the cell phones for, it's good that we were able to get their license plate number.
Levi Hartline
A year of experience has really helped Josh. He continues to excel in his role as a team leader and field general behind the plate.
John Sparks
Because there is a vacuum of leadership from Washington, the governors on a bipartisan basis have really stepped up to the plate when it comes to global warming.
Ashok Gupta
She was in complete control using both sides of the plate.
Dan Jacobson
We just didn't hit the ball well. We are just not competing well at the plate.
Tara Shamsie
No, because I'd kill him if he did. The only agreement we have is that if Paul Walker offered it to me on a plate I could and if Angelina Jolie was there for Andy he could!
Michelle Heaton
We're making an appeal to those to step up to the plate and volunteer. Without that response, we aren't going to move forward.
Tony Thornton
Everybody was so willing to step up to the plate.
Kelsey Bauerly
After the game the plate umpire said Valle was around the plate with every pitch. He pitched well, especially for the climate.
Patrick Mitchell
I just haven't felt that great at the plate. But there's a long ways to go. I know that I'm going to get there.
Juan Encarnacion
(Nick) didn't have to throw a lot of pitches, he struck out 10 and really kept the ball close to the plate all night. This was his best game all year.
Chris Santiago
Right now I'm really feeling comfortable at the plate in the last five or six days. When I feel like that, I don't look for a pitch. I look for something around the strike zone or something that I know I can handle.
Luis Matos
We didn't play real well in that first game. It wasn't really bad, but we just weren't very aggressive at the plate like they've been taught to be.
Jay Harper
They haven't been intimidated. Every time they go to the plate, their confidence is enough that they feel like they belong here. That's great because the only thing that goes against you when you get to the big leagues is fear.
Carlos Lee
The second inning was better than his first. He had some nice pop, but when you can't get your second and third pitch over (the plate), teams are just going to sit dead red on the fastball and drive it.
Mark Foulkes
She wasn't hitting the corners and had to get the ball out over the plate a little more than she wanted to. We did play good defense ... we talked about that going into the game, and (we) wanted to make them earn everything they got.
Oscar Sanchez
We only committed two errors, but walks hurt us in the first inning and we didn't make a couple of plays. Good pitching will slow you down at the plate. Overall, I saw improvement from the first game.
Marty Dunn
It would be fair to say Ryan is searching for his swing a little. With the nagging injuries he has had, he just hasn't gotten a chance to get locked in at the plate.
Bruce Bochy
SATIETY, n. The feeling that one has for the plate after he has eaten its contents, madam.
Ambrose Bierce
I had a 97 mile-an-hour fast ball, and I couldn't hit the plate. Like Nuke LaLoosh.
Dennis Lehane
I feel good at the plate. I am trying to keep it simple and not try to do too much. That has been a problem in the past. The main thing is I'm keeping it simple.
Jason Donald
Our overall goal is to see the federal government step up to the plate.
James Frederick
She's done it and she's on her way. She needed to think about how to do that by making the right decisions in practice. She stepped up to the plate.
Ann Hughes
If these guys have three outs, they have enough confidence to come back. They never give up at the plate. They fight on every pitch and that was big for us today.
Rene Barrientes
Struble has a good breaking ball and good change-up. You can call it anytime and he is always around the plate with his three pitches.
Craig Faulkner
And they're speeding up more to home plate to give the catcher an opportunity. It's almost impossible if you don't get a good jump. If you have a catcher who can throw the ball well, it's almost impossible to steal.
Tim Raines
He had a good day at the plate as far as his overall rhythm and seeing the ball. He's got good speed and can do a lot of different things when he gets on to create havoc for the defense.
Tim Funkhouser
We've been hitting well all year. We're tough at the plate.
Terry Wetzel
If you think he's tipping, you get it fixed. But if you're throwing it middle of the plate, he's not tipping pitches. They're hitting bad pitches.
Burt Hooton
He was in front of the plate. I didn't have a choice.
Jimmy Rollins
He's a tremendous athlete. Last year he struggled at the plate, but he has really worked on his hitting.
Craig Trychel
She's very aggressive behind the plate. She's got a strong arm and she's one of our big power hitters.
Alana Lamorte
As soon as I hit it, I had a pretty good idea it was going out. It didn't really hit me until I crossed home plate.
Jeremy Hermida
They (Americans) gave Iraq to Iran on a gold plate free of charge. They did what Khomeini failed to achieve. He must be celebrating in his grave, thanking the Americans.
Mustafa Alani
This guy has been swinging at strikes and taking balls. That's been the most impressive thing he's done at the plate. The obvious thing was the home run, but he moves really well in the outfield.
Joe Maddon
It seems like when I do well at the plate I do well on the mound, also. I guess one comes with the other.
Brad Hennessey
Teams that were fast, we'd put her behind the plate to slow down the game. She's my team captain this year.
Doug Fisher
I just went out and blew it again. I tried to get the ball away from the plate. It came back over and he made me pay for it.
Chad Cordero
We really concentrated on hitting and reading pitches. We talked about being aggressive at the plate. Offensively, against Herndon, we were tentative. We waited for them to come to us. That was the difference.
Bonnie O'hearn
I certainly understand the decision to pass the reins to others, because he has so many other community development activities on his plate.
Jim Mcingvale
One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.
Scooter Dunn
Our catcher (Jonathon Basinger) said that pitch was 6 or 8 inches off the plate, but he still hit it. Put that one on me. You're not supposed to let the other team's best guy beat you.
Linn Williams
I tried to get inside on them a little bit, with it being real cold and they are on top of the plate. I need to locate a little better, but hopefully they'll be honest and move off the plate a little bit.
Scott Carroll
He was working both sides of the plate. He got a lot of ground balls, got what he needed. He's had a good year and it seems like he's been doing it to more than just us.
Chad Tracy
We executed really well today and we didn't do that this weekend. That's the good thing about baseball, every time you come out you've got a new plate on your hands.
Roger Kieschnick
We're not particularly positive on [the deal] at this point, ... P&G has a lot on its plate. It's a troubled business of its own and Clairol is under performing.
Carol Warner
We're not going to pitch around her, but we will definitely give her the respect that she deserves at the plate.
Deanna Gumpf
We did not swing the bat well. We've got to make better decisions at the plate. We've got to find a way to keep our intensity up. Today Lon Morris worked hard and kept its intensity up.
Leslie Messina
They were very patient at the plate and able to get those big hits when they needed it.
Tom Kontak
The main thing is his mentality and his aggressiveness. That old linebacker comes in handy behind the plate.
Larry Hays
[In so many ways, the Mets had this game at their fingertips. Anderson had a chance to beat the throw home because Perez double-clutched, but Dodgers catcher Dioner Navarro blocked the plate with his shin guard and would not let Anderson sneak a hand around him.] I didn't have anywhere to go, ... If you have a collision there, you don't know what you're going to get.
Marlon Anderson
Physically, I feel fine. I just don't feel so good at the plate. I know people try to translate that to the end of the season, but I don't think that's it at all. I feel I've made it through this season, physically, as well as any season I've played.
Craig Counsell
Dexter has been getting some quality at-bats. He's very poised and confident for a 20-year-old. He took advantage of a fastball that caught too much of the plate and drove it.
Joe Mikulik
I had two at-bats against him and saw balls right over the plate. I hit them right at the end of the bat for soft ground balls. He kept us off balance.
Alberto Concepcion
I'm not going to make any excuses for us, but I don't see how our catcher just misses a ball that's right down the middle of the plate if the batter didn't touch it. But I'm not going to make excuses for us; that didn't lose us the game.
Natalie Peters
I felt good at the plate, I was able to put the ball in play, ... My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
Carlos Beltran
The nice thing right now is we're getting a lot of offense from our entire lineup. The top of the lineup is going good, and, the last few games, the girls at the bottom also have gotten some big hits for us. The girls are doing a good job at the plate.
Dave Schweder
It felt good. I took it to the plate and I got some good results.
Reggie Keen
The one thing he's developed is on the inside part of the plate. He's gotten more aggressive with it. The old saying is what, he's [6-foot-4, 6-foot-5], and you don't want to let him get extension. If he gets extension and the ball's tailing in, he'll hit it.
Billy J. Williams
We didn't compete at the plate, period. As many mistakes as we made, as many runs as they scored, we just didn't compete at the plate.
Terry Stephenson
I got him thrown out at the plate. It wasn't the best coaching decision.
Barry Godsey
Both games tonight, we were able to push runs across the plate when they were on base. We got some timely hits.
Keith Kramme
We are stepping up to the plate to do this. Your personal efforts are key to passing any measure. Grass-roots efforts are what works.
Julia Bott
I just wish we had a win. We had a chance to win it in the ninth and I was up at the plate. I thought it would've been a good opportunity for me to at least get a hit to tie the game.
Rafael Palmeiro
During the whole experience catching a better pitcher, I've learned to call better games. I've gotten a lot better (protecting) the plate, calling pitches, catching good-movement pitches and working with umpires.
Rachelle Boucher
That was a great experience. The thing that I realized was that the game isn't any different, it's just that everyone's more consistent and the pitchers are around the plate more. That's really the only difference. Nobody was real overpowering.
Jonathan Fulton
Danny is not going to be denied for lack of work or effort. He is real intense. And he's your typical A's guy. He grinds out his at-bats, he doesn't give up, with that aggressive but disciplined approach at the plate. You always have a feeling about Danny that he's going to find a way to get it done.
Keith Lieppman
When you go from facing 84 - 86 mph fastballs in Florida, to guys, to put it nicely, throwing slow, it really tests your patience at the plate.
Matt Adams
We're all pretty confident. The COC and all the sport associations have really stepped up to the plate with some extra funding, and I think we're going to have a good performance.
Brad Gushue
At the plate, the girls were real patient which was nice to see. Facing live pitching compared to machine pitching is completely different. We took a lot of pitches and got the hits when it counted.
Jeremy Trill
We're losing a major neighbor and what they've given back to the community, ... These businesses move out and we get hedge funds that don't step up to the plate. It's not just tax dollars. It's a lot more.
Ann Morrison
I like to jump on the first pitch when they leave it over the plate. I like to be aggressive at the plate and set the pace early for my team. I just try to find ways to get on.
Holly Martin
A citizen should basically note first the descriptors -- height, weight, complexion, hair style, clothing, associated license plate. Then they should report it ... in a manner consistent with credibility.
Kelly Mccann
[Bush] has put Terri through a week of hell and our family through a week of hell by not acting. He has to come up to the plate.
Bob Schindler
He's really an awfully good hitter. The four position guys that we have back all hit over .300. We think we'll be fine at the plate and the guys that we have filling in are very capable.
Brett Isaacs
We knew she wasn't a real fast pitcher and we worked on that in practice, but we just didn't hit the ball very well tonight at all. That was my biggest complaint. We worked so hard at it in practice and then we come out to it and we're hesitant at the plate.
Don Menges
Every time he comes to the plate, he's focused. Every single time. He's concentrating on the pitcher in the on-deck circle, and when he gets up, he's intense and ready to change the game.
Daniel Payne
I'm just trying to make solid contact right there, and I got a slider over the plate and put the barrel on it.
Danny Ardoin
He's always around the plate. When he wants to miss, he misses. He doesn't miss accidentally.
Mike Goedde
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
Earl Weaver
The kid (catcher) had him blocked off at the plate and he went to the outside and was able to sneak by there before the catcher got the tag on him.
Jason Abercrombie
He's going to the plate committed to a pitch, and if he gets it, he hits it. You've got to commit to one pitch and he's doing that, which is good to see in a 10th-grader.
Todd Moyer
I like to have my hand on every single plate that goes out. It's really a good feeling when someone compliments your meal, and you had everything to do with making it. It's very rewarding.
Bill Dickey
The local people have really stepped up to the plate, ... I don't know how it happens. At one point Monday, we had nothing. It just shows up.
Mike Turner
If [Lowe] leaves it up, he can get hit. But if he starts it in the middle of the plate and just breaks down about a foot, there's nothing you can do. When he's pitching like that, like he did in the playoffs, it's hard to square up.
Jerry Hairston
She's tough. She has improved so much behind the plate. At the beginning of the season she was at shortstop, and we made a few changes defensively and one of them was putting her behind the plate.
Charles Vidrine
When you've got the lead, you've got to pitch ahead; you've got to throw fastballs. You've got to put it down the middle of the plate and say, ?Hey, let's see how far you can hit it,' and we didn't. We were too cautious.
Harry Tholen
It was a typical first game. We had some trouble getting the ball over the plate, and we made some mistakes [in the field]. John really sparked us with a big night. He was responsible for the win.
Donnie Williams
I couldn't really judge him because of the shadows. He was hitting his spots and didn't leave any balls out over the plate. That was the first time I faced him, and he's got good stuff with a bright future.
Shea Hillenbrand
The only thing I do different [with runners on base] is I try to be more patient at the plate and be aggressive with pitches in the strike zone.
Edwin Encarnacion
I think we were jumping at the plate a little bit. We were chasing some bad pitches and just weren't able to get a lot of base runners.
Earl Hartman
All Saints really hit the ball well on us. They have a solid lineup top-to-bottom and they were very patient at the plate.
Earl Hartman
She's always around the plate and she does a good job of throwing strikes. When they're not swinging, she's getting strikes.
Evans Bouchard
We have big serving lines in the kitchen. They fill your plate and they take it out, and you never know, it might be your dentist, or your doctor or your banker serving you because everybody participates.
Ethel Grossman
This is a challenge for other companies to get involved, as we have gotten involved. This is an important event in town, and other businesses need to step up to the plate.
Ernie Corrigan
We just have to figure out who goes where in our bullpen. We got guys who just couldn't find the plate and we need them to go out there and throw strikes.
Eric Mcarthur
I was just happy with how aggressive we were at the plate in the second game. It seems like we had two strikes on every batter in that first game and just were hitting in a hole every time.
Eric Mcarthur
I was eating dinner. I dropped my plate. They said 'We've got her.' ... I'm pretty sure at that point, I broke down crying.
Ernest Karnes
He left it up and out over the plate. I got lucky there. I got behind in the count and had a pitch earlier in the at-bat and missed it.
Eric Bruntlett
I felt great up there today. I was able to slow everything down. I was under control at the plate. Everything just was real clear in my mind going up there.
Eric Bruntlett
He came back nicely. He doesn't throw as hard as Kurtis, but he throws the ball over the plate, he changes speeds, he works quickly.
Eric Albright
There was a play at the plate, but it wasn't close.
Eric Wedemeyer
It's very, very dangerous, and Ford needs to step up to the plate and do the right thing for the consumers and not worry about what the profits are.
Emily Peacock
Chelsea is key. She has a good eye at the plate and has a very good knowledge of the game. She will be our foundation in the lineup. She is eager and ready to play. She will see some time behind the plate, too.
Elizabeth Caroscio
I don't carry over. Like if I drop a ball in the outfield, I won't carry it over to the plate. Or if I strike out, I won't carry it into the outfield.
Elijah Dukes
It's like baseball. You step up to the plate and you'd like to knock it out of the park but the bread and butter is hitting the single.
